30 Yr Old Wanting a Better Look! - Schaumburg, IL

Before(left) 1 week (middle) 2week (right)

My results so far are phenomenal compared to what they were week one. I still have some swelling but not as much as I had last week. I'm in my stage two compression garment and it is already too lose so I have to order a smaller size. I started in an XL went to a L and now I'm sure I need a medium!
I have been sleeping in my garment as it keeps me compressed and comfortable at night. I usually have it off for a few hours during the day to wash it. my back is still a little numb the nurse said that was normal. My 1month follow up is next week. I still have not needed to take any pain meds and sleeping has become less of a hassle. Overall, everything has been going better than expected. Better photos will be coming soon. I wanted everyone to see the change so far.

The first couple of days were rough, my abdomen was very sore whenever I transitioned from sitting to standing and vice versa. The pain wasn't intolerable, I haven't taken anything for pain besides Mortin. The Dr gave me some Arnika which i believe is working for bruising and swelling. I still have some numbness in my lower back, the nurse said that was normal. Every time I contacted Dr Dillon's nurses they were prompt in getting back to me and giving the answers that I needed.
I received my stage 2 garment yesterday which is in the size XL because my stage 1 was a 2XL and over the first couple of days even after washing it had become to loose which shows improvement on my waist line.

Sleeping has been a task for me as I had my upper and lower abs as well as my flanks done so no matter how I sleep it's very uncomfortable. I have been sleeping in an up right position using my pillows for comfort as I have found this to relieve pressure from my sore sites.

I haven't experienced any draining as that disappeared day2. I will keep everyone posted as I didn't want to post pics until I'm a little further in this process. FYI, everyone around me has been saying since day three how they can notice my slimmer appearance.
